CAS APP with URM Status & No Likely Letter Yet= Rejection?

<p>Qwertulen, thanks for the insight. CynicalBliss, I agree one hundred percent.</p>

<p>Calculus,</p>

<p>I'm happy that Princeton let you out of the ED agreement. Really, I am.</p>

<p>You don't deserve Princeton.</p>

<p>And that frees up one more spot for us RDers. </p>

<p>Thanks loads :D</p>

<p>If only you knew the terms ;)</p>

<p>Qwertrulen, I can see someone is a bit...angry? Did the admissions committee not go your way? Get over it...I said that in anger, but it is about financial aid, and I honestly don't care what you think.</p>

<p>Not to sound like your mom, but you should stop with negative assumptions and ad hominems when other people are trying to help you. You're taking everything, even constructive criticisms, in a hostile manner. I really don't see how you can come up with "Admission committee not going his way" when he only pointed out a logical fallacy in your statements. We're not going to judge you on that, and you should sotp with the insinuations as well and act with a little bit more sincerity to others on the board who are here to answer your questions.</p>

<p>cheers</p>

<p>Oh, but the admissions committee did go my way, in both terms of decision and financial aid package. I just believe that the ED application implies a serious commitment that cannot be broken on a whim.</p>

<p>All I ask is that you keep this relevant to the CORNELL QUESTION. Keep your opinions to yourself and stay off my post unless you know the answer to my question.</p>

<p>someone wake you up a little too early?</p>

<p>Okay, Cornell questions:</p>

<p>Why didn't you get a likely letter? Because not everyone gets one. Only a small percentage of students actually get them.</p>

<p>Will you get in? It's honestly hard to say without seeing the difficulty of your curriculum. I can tell you your standardized test scores are higher than mine (I got a likely), but SATs alone won't get you in (even if you won't provide, for whatever reason, your best composite; doesn't matter though, because any score above 2200 is just about the same anyhow to adcoms). You'd have to list leadership positions in ECs and provide some sort of hook in order to give a clearer picture of your app. But honestly, it's a week away! Might as well wait than get your nerves all worked up over unsubstantiated guesses as to what your chances may be.</p>

<p>calculus relax...your probably gonna get in anyway...i get the feeling that most urm's that get likelies are those that apply to engineering(correct me if im wrong)...your stilll a urm...just relax</p>

<p>the only reason he wouldn't want anyone seeing his composite is so that no one can identify him....maybe for what he said about princeton and harvard.</p>

<p>Seuferk, I just wanted you to see this...

<p>Regardless of what my SATs were, knowing my sex and my SAT score would not really narrow it down too much. (Btw, I believe those are just single-sitting stats, so best composite would even be harder.)</p>

<p>But thank you very much liana.</p>

<p>wow i'm in the 94 percentile...that's pretty good regardless of me only getting a 2020</p>
